We're not speaking on behalf of WebKit, merely as members of the team explaining the team's approach. Neither are we trying to hide as "not divulging" implies.
Our plot to express opinions about ES6 vs ES2105 as names without explicitly disclosing our affiliation in every post has been unmasked!

In before: who is "our"?

I wasn't implying deception, but if "we" means "the WebKit team" that would seem to be speaking on behalf of the WebKit team. The clarification was useful, that's all.
